What I'm Reading - The Heiress of Winterwood

My Thoughts

What begins as an arrangement after a great loss becomes a story of love and new beginnings. This beautiful story of Amelia and Graham is a page turner for sure. I read it in an afternoon as I couldn't put it down. I loved Amelia's heart for a baby she helped welcome into the world and promised to take care of always. She was willing to lose everything including her family and reputation to love on this baby for life. When the baby was kidnapped, I was on the edge of my seat until she was found safe and sound. The surprise twist of all who were involved in the kidnapping was something I didn't see coming. I so enjoyed reading as Amelia and Graham came to fall in love. My only complaint is that I was left wanting to hear more of their story once I finished reading. I wanted to read about their wedding, more babies, and the rest of their lives together.Enter Today - 4/15 -
4/30!

Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies
family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend’s baby. She’ll risk
everything to keep her word—even to the point of proposing to the child’s
father—a sea captain she’s never met.

When the child vanishes with little more than an ominous ransom note hinting
at her whereabouts, Amelia and Graham are driven to test the boundaries of their
love for this little one.

Amelia’s detailed plans would normally see her through any trial, but now,
desperate and shaken, she’s forced to examine her soul and face her one
weakness: pride.

Graham’s strength and self-control have served him well and earned him much
respect, but chasing perfection has kept him a prisoner of his own discipline.
And away from the family he has sworn to love and protect.

Both must learn to have faith and relinquish control so they can embrace the
future ahead of them.
